Views of Several Prominent People on tn
Result in the Empire State.

elecDOH ID tDat crate. we eeleCt the I0i-
lowing opinions:
WILLIAM E. EHeLIsH, OF INDIANA.
To the Editor Of the World:
In response to your inquiries have TO
cay that in my judgment the recent cleo
ton in the State of New York makes il
reasonably certain that President Cleve-
land will be renomiBated and reelected.
In my opinion this will be just as il should
be, for although he has kept too many
Republicans in Office 20 suit many Demo
Gratis, still he is giving the country q clean,
honest and able administration, which
ought to satisfy all classes. especially all
business men, and SIS to the offices he will
no doubt give preference to Democrats,
other things being equal, SIS far as the Law
will allow. II the country should con-
tinue to be prosperous, Sc IL probable, Mr..
Cleveland would receive not only the
Democratic vote but the support of that
very large class of people who care more
for their material welfare than politics,
and who would be disposed to let we'll
enough alone rather than risk the haz ard
of change.
The Indiana Democracy salute their
brethren of New York with congratule-
tons and thanks for their glorious VIC
tory. 1t has probably determined, and
determined wisely, the political character
Of the Government for many years to
Gene, and trust and believe for the best
interests of the whole people. I think the
impression since the New York election is
that Mr. Blaine Is not likely 10 be renom-
mated. | have no idea that he wishes TO
be. Taking the whole country into con-
sheraton he may probably be as strong as
any other Republican, but either Gresham
or Harrison would be stronger in Indiana,
as they are both frst-clsss men, Justly
held in high esteem in this State, and the
Republicans could probably not do better
than to select one of them for their Presj-
Dental candidate in 1883 Very respect
fully, WV h. ENGLIsH.

EDITOR B0wLEs, SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN"
To the Editor OF the World:
Ny views are expressed in the following
extract from an editorial in to.dRy's Re-
publican: I'VE beg to remind all parties
concerned that the returns from New York
and Massachusetts embody the same es-
sential instruction. 1t does not pay to
wallow, whether it be on a national scale
with Mr.. Blaine, or in State contest with
Patrick Mag uire. live were to point q
| particular moral, il would be to suggest to
| the Republican party the wisdom Of heed
| ing the voice of discretion and good sense,
| heard oftenest among the plain people,
| which protests that the nomination of the
| Presidential candidate of 1854 would be an
| act Of fatal folly. New York has afforded
the clear proof of the strength OF the
| claim" SAMUEL BowLEs.
Springfield, Mass. November 10.
Mr., wATTERsoN, LOUISVILLE COURIER
J)UREAL"
To the Editor of The Worli:
In answer 10 your Interrogation have to
say that at this long range three circum-
stances seem to me to account fort DEM
ocIatic victory In New York. First. the
party was united in good faith on its Safe
| ticket. Second, the German vote Ina PEELED
| by the menacing attitude of the sun ptuary
movement has largely transferred itsslf
from the Republican to the Democratic
| party as its surest hope OF defeating prohi-
bition. Third, the McGlynn annex of the
| George movement drove out great num-
| bers of Irish Catholics under church in
| 6uences, reducing the labor vote to its
minimum. Without doubt these primary
causes we've uDderlsid and supplemented
by general public confidence in the ed-
| Clevelandsand Governor Hill, within the
Democratic Eparty itself, and among the
masses OF the people, giving the Democrat
| ic ticket an uI usual share Of the.foating
| public vote.
In my Judgment there has been at no
time doubt in the denomination of Grover
| Cleveland, which from the beginning was
| inevitable and indispensable. The result
| in New York finally confirms this and
makes it clear to all. That he will be re-
elected is equally sure, unless the Demo-
ocrats are carried away by overconidence
or demoralized by indecision and lack Of
! purpose In the coming session OF Congress.
Ny faith, however, in the birth star which
still shines over the President is undated.
He may not be very beautiful but he was
certainly born to good fortune:
HENRY WATrERsoN.

EDITOR SCOTT RAY.
SHEIBYvILLE, IND, Nov. 1O.-A World
reporter called at the Office of the Shelby
vile lind Daily Democrat tonight to get
the political views Of its editor and pro-
prIetor, Scott Ray, 90 widely known on &C.
count Of his advocacy of Gov. Hill for the
Presidency. Mr.. Ray has been jealous for
the past two years in pushing his favorite
to the front and to him much of the credit
is due for bringing the name OF Gov, Hill
so prominently to the front as Presiden-
tial possibility. His paper has teemed
with kind words for the Governor, and be
has not hesitated to roast tie administra
ton when he saw fit. In three public
speeches before the Democratic Editorial
Association of Indiana, he took strong
grounds in favor of the Governor of the
Empire State as the Democratic nominee
|
cidedly unfriendly to the administration
The reporter found Mr. Ray in his Office
reading the World when he entered, and
expressed himself as being greatly surprised
| over the result in New York. MI. Ray
said the New York election made the re
nomination and reelection oil Mr.. CleVe
land fixed fact, and that he thought nc
other name would go before the conven
ton. he said that for two years he hsC
doubted The ability OF the President Il
carry New York, but now he thought there
was no doubt about it. The Administra
ton had been on trial in that State, anC
now the verdict had been rendered in it
favor. He thought the masses of the voters
in New York State were satisfied with thu
Administration and that now all Demo
cratic opposition would be at an end as far
as the President was concerned.
Mr.. Ray said he would do all in hi
Iower to elect the President, and thought
| there was no doubt about his ability Il
. carry indiana, inasmuch as the President
} policy was getting to be more Democrati.
; all the time. He believed that the Presi
! dents Western trip did him good ant
: made his Democracy much better. Th'
result in New York, he thought settles
many things, and among them was tn
Recommendation of Mr.. Blaine, who's
candidacy was out of the question. Hal
